New Nintendo

Last night, I posted a video flip-through of Hyrule Historia, a video that gave more than a few readable looks at the timeline pages contained within the art book. I immediately sent the video to GlitterBerri, who has since translated the main timeline chart contained within the book.

The translation of said chart is as follows:

Also, the book’s cover reveals that Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma was the book’s supervising editor, so this timeline is as real as it gets.

The other translations GlitterBerri currently has up are based on scans of the preview pages, and is basically repeat information:

Ocarina of Time & Majora’s Mask:

-Link is sent back from the future at the end of OoT, becomes a child again
-Child Link goes to see Zelda, warns her of what happens in the future
-Zelda gives Link the Ocarina of Time, tells him to go far away so Ganondorf doesn’t access Sacred Realm
-Thus, Link leaves on a secret journey
-Borrows Epona from Lon Lon Ranch
-After a few months, goes to look for Navi
-Gets lost in a mysterious forest, then arrives in Termina
-After MM ends, Link leaves Termina, his whereabouts after that are unknown.

The Legend of Zelda & Adventure of Link:

-At the end of LoZ, peace returns to Hyrule
-Link remains in Hyrule
-However, Hyrule is ??? by the henchmen of the evil king Ganon, who are plotting to revive him
-AoL begins

Etcetera:

-The Deku Mask does indeed contain the soul of the Deku Scrub who died in the forest connecting Hyrule and Termina
-Not much is known about the Sages from TP except that they represent different elements due to the marks on their clothes

Taken From a 2ch Historia Discussion Thread (Unofficial Source):

After Link dies in Ocarina of Time, Ganon obtains the entire Triforce. The Seven Sages seal away Ganon and the whole Triforce as a last resort, but villains with their eyes on the Triforce make for the Sacred Realm, which eventually turns into the Dark World and is filled with evil power. The Seven Sages then try to seal away the Sacred Realm itself, but end up fighting with monsters. This is the Imprisoning/Sealing War of A Link to the Past.
